SgurrEnergy gets seal of approval from the IECRE

SgurrEnergy, part of Wood Group’s clean energy business, has been recognised as a Renewable Energy Testing Lab (RETL) for Power Performance Testing (PPT) by the IECRE (International Electrotechnical Commission – Renewable Energy) after undergoing a formal assessment process.

The IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Renewable Energy Applications (IECRE System) aims to facilitate international trade in equipment and services for use in Renewable Energy sectors while maintaining the required level of safety.

Developed to streamline the PPT process and offer consistent global application of methodology, the IECRE System ensures uniform implementation and mutual recognition between certification bodies and test laboratories.

Florin Pintilie, PPT Team Leader at SgurrEnergy, said “We were delighted to get the seal of approval from the IECRE especially given that SgurrEnergy is one of the first consultancies in the world to have achieved this important milestone.

“Being recognised as a Renewable Energy Testing Lab (RETL) for Power Performance Testing (PPT) gives our clients the extra confidence that they are working with an approved, world-class business.”

The cost of generating power from onshore wind has fallen by around a quarter since 2010, with solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity costs falling by 73 per cent in that time, according to new cost analysis from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The report also highlights that solar PV costs are expected to halve by 2020. The best onshore wind and solar PV projects could be delivering electricity for an equivalent of USD 3 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh), or less within the next two years.Global...

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo recently (1/29) released the comprehensive New York State Offshore Wind Master Plan, which will guide the responsible and cost-effective development of 2.4 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030, enough to power up to 1.2 million homes with clean energy. To spur the development of renewable resources, Governor Cuomo announced in his 2018 State of the State address that the state will issue solicitations in 2018 and in 2019 for a combined total of at least 800 megawatts of offshore wind power....

As costs for renewable energy projects drop and policies and resilience demands increase, capacity for wind and solar PV continues to rise across all regions and market segments. This uptick in large-scale additions of variable forms of generation presents challenges to the electrical grid, but energy storage systems (ESSs) are helping to mitigate concerns and integrate renewable energy resources without affecting grid reliability. According to a new report from Navigant Research, total annual revenue for ESRI is...
